  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2011 TC Crank failure

All good Ray, Can't change it, just got to fix it now, finally split the cases last night, OH DEAR, more bad news. The both of the case halfs have a visable crack of approx 20mm at the bottom of what I would call the crank shaft chamber. Probably will be able to repair but that depends on how well it tigs up. The cracks for want of a better word, are on an internal wall so not as bad and the fact that the case halfs run a gasket is a bonus.....(would upload some photos if I new how) So far the parts list is, top end piston and gasket set, oil pump rotors, complete crank asembly, all lower case bearings etc as contaminated with metal particles, cases if the weld repair is not successfull.....I havn't finished pulling the top end apart yet but would appear as the valves and cams etc are ok at this stage.....It is going to be costly I would envisage, will find out over the next couple of days but am estimating approx $2000 with out cases. Can't actually figuer out how the cases cracked as the main bearings don't appear to be damaged only the bigend and I don't see how that could possibly hit the cases. More investigations tonight after work, last day on shift then 5 off so should have some answers hopefully soon
 
Now you have two out of ordinary issues. Coincidence? I am suspicious. Could there be some slight misalignment that causes the crank to flex?
